they think people browse to their /apply page from a webserver?

  huh? we think people goto our /apply page all the time from browsers. those browsers send a field called user-agent that contains information about what operating system that browser is running on.

    not that. say my webservers run centos or rh. my desktops are mostly windows. i remote to my webservers, dev or staging or production, to do stuff. and actually they don't have desktops installed. none of my machines can visit that /apply page then. if someone runs windows on their desktop and uses vagrant to launch their dev/test instance it'd probably be headless too. windows desktops have ms office and can play direct x games. unless u want to force people to choose between a linux desktop and not applying. thats ok too.

      think of it like a test. Say you are on windows and goto higher.team/apply and get the windows message and really want to apply to the school. How could they quickly get around the user-agent check? https://www.virtualbox.org https://www.virtualbox.org and https://elementary.io https://elementary.io would work right?
